Net Neutrality by Christopher T. MarsdenEnglish | 18 Jan. 2010 | ISBN: 1849660069 | 320 Pages | PDF | 1 MBChris Marsden maneuvers through the hype articulated by Netwrok Neutrality advocates and opponents. He offers a clear-headed analysis of the high stakes in this debate about the Internet’s future, and fearlessly refutes the misinformation and misconceptions that aboutHowever, that is not the whole story, and Isps as a whole have incentives to discriminate between content for matters such as network management of spam, to secure and maintain customer experience at current levels, and for economic benefit from new Quality of Service standards. This includes offering a ‘priority lane’ on the network for premium content types such as video and voice service. The author considers market developments and policy responses in Europe and the United States, draws conclusions and proposes regulatory recommendations.

How should a Christian think? If a serious Christian wants to think seriously about a serious subject-from considering how to vote in the next election to choosing a career; from deciding among scientific theories to selecting a mate; from weighingcompeting marketing proposals to discerning the best fitness plan-what does he or she do? This basic question is at the heart of a complex discourse: epistemology.A bold new statement of Christian epistemology, Need to Know presents a comprehensive, coherent, and clear model of responsible Christian thinking. Grounded in the best of the Christian theological tradition while being attentive to a surprising range of thinkers in the history of philosophy, natural science, social science, and culture, the book offers a scheme for drawing together experience, tradition, scholarship, art, and the Bible into a practical yet theoretically profound system of thinking about thinking.John Stackhouse’s fundamental idea is as simple as it is startling: Since God calls human beings to do certain things in the world, God can be relied upon to supply the knowledge necessary for human beings to do those things. The classic Christian concept of vocation, then, supplies both the impetus and the assurance that faithful Christians can trust God to guide their thinking-on a "need to know" basis.

An inspiring, piercingly honest user’s guide to life, written for the author’s daughter and given to her on her first day of college, reflecting tough lessons about family, work, and marriage.You learn a few useful things at school – the three Rs come in handy, and it’s good to know how to perform under pressure and wait your turn – but most of what matters, what makes you into a functioning human being, able to hold yourown in conversation, find your path, know what to avoid in relationships, and secure a meaningful job, no teacher will ever tell you. This diamond-sharp, gut-punchingly honest book of hard-earned wisdom is one mother’s effort to equip her daughter for survival in the real world.Margaux Bergen began writing this book when her daughter, Charlotte, turned nine and gave it to her right after graduation from high school, when she was setting off for her first day of college. "I am not writing this to groom or guide you to professional or academic success," she wrote. "My goal is rather to give you tools that might help you engage with the world and flourish…. Think of this as a kind of developing bath-time wisdom."Wise, heartbreakingly funny, and resonantly true, Navigating Life has invaluable lessons for students of life of all ages. It will challenge you to lead a more meaningful life and to tackle the bumps along the way with grace, grit, style, and ingenuity. What The Blessings of a Skinned Knee did for the early years of parenting, Navigating Life does for the next far more perilous chapter, when new graduates are cast out on the high seas and have to learn to swim and find their way by themselves.
